Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis is an opportunistic infection commonly seen in disorders that affect the immune system of the body such as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and hematological malignancies such as leukemia/lymphoma or organ transplantation. The occurrence of CMV retinitis in the absence of such condition should be thoroughly investigated, as it is a strong indicator of poor immune competence. We here report an interesting case of CMV retinitis as a presenting feature of rare multisystem disorde "Dyskeratosis congenita."
巨细胞病毒（CMV）视网膜炎是一种机会性感染，常见于影响机体免疫系统的疾病，如获得性免疫缺陷综合征以及血液系统恶性肿瘤，如白血病/淋巴瘤或器官移植。在不存在此类情况时发生CMV视网膜炎，应进行全面调查，因为这是免疫功能低下的有力指标。我们在此报告一例有趣的CMV视网膜炎病例，它是罕见的多系统疾病“先天性角化不良”的首发特征。
